Hi Kaiser, I'm a big fan and I've learned a lot from your podcast over the last few years. (I also loved your brother's book!)

Could you do a public service and put together a list of recommended accounts to follow here?

This is super useful, thanks. I'm going to share it with my students in Argentina who were learning about the Korean economic miracle just two weeks ago in my class.

Korea is a fascinating case for other emerging economies to study, and this is an important reminder that the road is never smooth.

This was a serious discussion in 1980s China during Deng Xiaoping's reforms, and the foundation of the return of domestic service!

Fascinating! And a wonderful example of progress through public action.

Interesting! Is there a literature on what explains how long empires, or indeed other polities, survive? I recently read about the Incas and the Romans. How one arranges succession is an obvious big variable, and I'm wondering if people have looked systematically at other variables?

I always understood that phrase to be a representation of English anti-intellectualism, rather than the more reasonable interpretation you give it, particularly because it came from the part of my family that was certainly both English and anti-intellectual.
